Maternal Age at Childbirth and Parity as Predictors of Longevity Among Women in the United States
Objectives. To examine associations of maternal age at childbirth and parity with survival to age 90 years (longevity). Methods. We performed a prospective study among a multiethnic cohort of postmenopausal US women in the Women’s Health Initiative recruited from 1993 to 1998 and followed through August 29, 2014. We adjusted associations with longevity for demographic, lifestyle, reproductive, and health-related characteristics. Results. Among 20…
An intervention study examining the effects of condom wrapper graphics and scent on condom use in the Botswana Defence Force
Free condoms provided by the government are often not used by Botswana Defence Force (BDF) personnel due to a perceived unpleasant scent and unattractive wrapper. Formative work with the BDF found that scented condoms and military-inspired (camouflage) wrapper graphics were appealing to personnel. A non-randomized intervention study was implemented to determine whether condom wrapper graphics and scent improved condom use in the BDF. Four militar…

Epidemiology of viral hepatitis among US Navy and Marine Corps personnel, 1984-85
Six hundred and twenty-nine cases of viral hepatitis (A, B, and NonA-NonB) were reported among a total of 768,832 United States Navy and Marine Corps personnel during 1984 and 1985 via a passive surveillance system. Cumulative incidence for all three hepatitis types was higher than those reported for the general population at the same time. Hepatitis B was the most common diagnosis within all sex, rank, and race/ethnic description categories. Enl…
Unemployment and Protest in the United States, 1890-1940
We begin with a critique of previous methods (event analysis) employed in testing deprivation theories of social movements and collective violence. Then we consider the value of group analysis through examination of the relationship between one form of deprivation (unemployment) and collective action by the unemployed in the United States from 1890–1940. By using group analysis we are able to discover that the relationship between unemployment an…
